Claus Bundesen is Professor of Cognitive Psychology at the
University of Copenhagen, Director of the Center for Visual
Cognition at the University of Copenhagen, and Director of the
Danish Research School of Psychology. He is the President of the
European Society for Cognitive Psychology and a member of the
Executive Committee of the International Association for the Study
of Attention and Performance. He has been Editor in Chief of the
European Journal of
Cognitive Psychology and a member of the editorial board of Visual
Cognition. Currently he is a member of the editorial boards of
Psychological Review and Psychological Research. His achievements
include
measurement of effects of visual size in pattern recognition and
apparent movement and development of mathematical models of
selective attention in vision. Thomas Habekost received his Ph.D.
in 2005 (University of Copenhagen) for a thesis on attention
disturbances after right hemisphere stroke, in which he developed
and applied a new testing method based on TVA theory. He has since
extended the TVA based testing method to study other patient groups
as well as the normal aging process. He has
also contributed to the development of the NTVA theory, especially
its applications to the single-cell literature on attention.
